Hebrew Bible, Isaias, Ottley, Cambridge, 1904
19 And it shall hail at the downfall of the forest; and the city shall lie low in lowliness.
20 Happy are ye, that sow beside all waters; that send forth the foot of the ox and the ass.
XXXIII. 1 Ah, thou that spoilest, and thyself art not spoiled; and dealest treacherously, and they have not dealt treacherously with thee! When thou shalt cease to spoil, thou shalt be spoiled; when thou shalt have succeeded in dealing treacherously, they shall deal treacherously with thee.
2 O Lord, be gracious unto us; we have waited fOr thee; be thou their arm every morning, our salvation also in the time of trouble.
3 At the voice of the uproar the’peoples flee; at the lifting up of thyself the nations are scattered.
4 And your spoil shall be gathered as the caterpillar gathereth; as locusts run to and fro, shall they run upon it.
5 The LORD is exalted, for he dwelleth in the height; he hath filled Zion with judgment and righteousness.
6 And there shall be faithfulness in thy times; power of salvation, wisdom and knowledge: the fear of the Lord, that is his treasure. ’
7 Behold, their valiant ones cry without; the mesSengers of peace weep bitterly.
8 The highways lie waste, the wayfaring man is ceased; he hath broken the covenant, despised cities, not man.
9 The earth mourneth, languisheth; Lebanon is ashamed, withereth; Sharon becometh like a desert; and Bashan and Carmel shake off (their leaves).
10 Now will I rise, saith the LORD; now will I exalt myself; now will I lift up myself.
11 Ye shall conceive hay, ye shall bring forth stubble; your breath is fire which shall devour you.
12 And peoples shall become burnings of lime; thorns cut up, they shall burn in the fire.
13 Hear, ye that are far, what I have done; and ye that are near, acknowledge my might.
14 The sinners are afraid in Zion; trembling hath seized the impious. Who among us can sojourn with deVOuring fire? who among us can sojourn with everlasting burnings?
15 He that walketh in righteousness, and speaketh upright- ness; that rejecteth the gain of oppressions, that shaketh his hands from taking hold on a bribe, that stoppeth his ear from hearing of bloodshed, and closeth his eyes from seeing evil:
16 He shall inhabit heights, fortresses of rocks (are) his high place; his bread is given him, his water is sure.
17 Thine eyes shall see a king in his beauty; they shall behold a land of distances.
18 Thine heart shall meditate on terror. Where is he that counted? Where he that weighed? where he that counted the towers?
